[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

You have every right to your sanctimonious position regarding the military. I will agree to disagree. I don’t have a single minister in my entire pedigree. I have lots of warriors in the family. I salute each and every one of them because THEY gave you the right to your opinion.

Yawn. So, because I honour pastors more than soldiers, this is "sanctimonious"?

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

For the record, soldiers didn't give me ANYTHING. God gave me my rights. These rights I have and retain, regardless of whether it is easy or difficult to exercise them, but nonetheless, I do not own any soldier my freedoms. Those come from GOD alone, not ANY man. Indeed, throughout history, soldiers have been the ones who have helped to take away peoples' liberties - and quite frankly, this will probably be the case here in the USA in the not too distant future.

So, I see no reason to honour people whose work has no ETERNAL value, over those who GOD honours in His Word.

God gave you the military to wathc over your rights.

[Sunshine Sister]

Oh and one more thing. If God gave you your rights (as he gave all of our ours) why are you not willing to uphold them?

Seems history is replete with despots that would strip us of those God given rights. If they are not worth fighting for what worth have they?
